Bromocriptine, pramipexole (Mirapex), ropinirole (Requip), and cabergoline (Dostinex) & others are all dopamine agonists that you could try (each affecting somewhat different combinations of DA receptors), and amantadine (Symmetrel) is a dopamine releaser. Parnate and selegeline are highly dopaminergic MAOIs. And, of course, the psychostimulants such as Adderal, dextroamphetamine, and Ritalin/methylphenidate have significant effects on dopamine as well.
As I've said before though, the dopamine agonists are often not quite like what one would expect-- at least for me, especially.
You also might look into the amino acids tyrosine & phenylalanine, and the supplement NADH.
